A magical sunset scene from the Stok village in Ladakh.

Sunset is always a magical time in Ladakh with the mountain ranges throwing out various hues of yellow and orange light as the shadows slowly creep up their sides.Â

This is a view of one such sunset from the Stok village with the Stok palace in the foreground.

Photo Note: This is a perfect scenario for using a GND filter. But even with a GND (3 stop) the range between the lights and shadows was so great that i had to use 'soft' filters in Lightroom to balance the exposure.
